He goes two days a week for two hours each day. I work in the classroom one of the days. Co-op preschool means parents are involved and help run it. At first that sounded like a great idea but now that I have number 2 on the way (and just assumed new baby could tag along) I'm not sure what we are going to do. Trying to convince dad to go to work late that day each week so he can watch baby or work at preschool...we'll figure something out.
I have been very lucky that Keaton is one of those kids that you can pretty much drop off anywhere and as long as they have fun kid stuff he's happy. So I had no worries that he would do great by himself and he did. He is actually much better behaved at school than at home (doesn't stand on chairs while eating, follows directions, is more mellow, etc.).
It is fun to ask him what he did at school and see what he says. When I would ask him what he did at his babysitters/daycare he would always say "Eat ice cream cones".....I was a bit suspicious and asked one day and was of course told "do you think I'm crazy, I'm not going to feed all these little kids messy ice cream cones full of sugar"....but I did find out she has pretend ones that must be pretty good!
I resisted from being the crazy person who photographs their child's every move (well I resisted this time but have done it many times before) but did take a few pictures on the first day of school.
The house across the street had decorative stones in the yard that he was very interested in.
A few more years till the real thing! And then about 13-14 more before he can drive (which he is already very excited about) and then, fingers crossed, college in about 16 years.
